SPIRITUAL
1. Develop a Relationship with God
FROM THE FOUNDER
Michael R. Ellison
Yes, the Virus Season is here.
See page 15.
At TriVita, we take this season very seriously due to the acceleration and the evolution of viruses. That is why I want you to have a free bottle of zinc with our special offer this month. It is the gatekeeper of your immune system. Your immune system is your best defense, and there are two most important ways you can support your immune function.
Reduce free radicals that cause inflammation and boost your immune system with targeted nutrition. Please note that if you already have a high level of free radicals and your immune system is already working hard to defend itself, with the onslaught of a virus, it can set up the perfect storm... a cytokine storm where the immune system is overwhelmed.
Please read the quiz on page 4 for some indication of high levels of free radicals, and then read Dr. Paul’s article on pages 5-6. This catalog is dedicated to helping you live with more wellness through Virus Season and the coming months. If you have indications of greater risk, whether in discomfort, joint stiffness or infections, then I encourage you to make every effort to reduce free radicals, and Nopalea is one product that is helping thousands of people do that. Help your immune system be stronger by reducing free radicals that cause chronic inflammation.
There is another way to boost your immune system with targeted nutrition. Start with TriVita’s Vitamin D3 for better absorption. Since 2021 leading researchers all over the world have realized after studying millions of people that people with low levels of vitamin D3 are at serious health risk, especially when it comes to combating viruses. Yale Medicine published an article by Lisa Sanders, MD that states low levels of vitamin D increases risk of serious health complications from viruses. Vitamin D is now recognized as crucial to every immune function.
TriVita’s Elderberry is another way to boost your immune system especially with its antiviral properties. The National Institute of Health says this about black elderberry: it is a plant that has in its structure bioactive compounds with antiviral action. This article also states that the acceleration and evolution of viruses make it very difficult for medical science to keep up. Your best defense is your own immune system, and supporting it with targeted nutrition is crucial for immune health.
TriVita is committed to your wellness, so you can live the life you desire with more joy and freedom to do the things you love and purpose.
For more wellness in 2024,
Michael R. Ellison Founder and CEO of TriVita

It’s Virus Season. Is Your Immune System Ready?
Take the quiz to see if you’re at an increased risk.
YES | NO
YES | NO
YES | NO
Cold & Flu Symptoms — Are you susceptible to cold and flu symptoms?
Stiff Joints — Do you have stiff joints, muscle aches and a lack of flexibility?
Digestive Problems — Do you suffer from digestive problems like constipation, diarrhea, IBD or acid reflux?
YES | NO
YES | NO
Allergy Symptoms — Do you experience sneezing, watery eyes, food sensitivities or other allergy symptoms?
Chronic Infections — Do you have recurring infections like respiratory infections, slow-healing wounds, redness or swelling?
If you answered YES to any of these questions, your immune system may be overburdened, leaving you at greater risk during Virus Season. See page 11 for an easy all-in-one solution to boost your immune system for the Virus Season.
If you experience symptoms like chronic pain, recurring infections, allergies, swelling or any medical condition that ends in "itis," your immune system may already be compromised. According to leading health experts, free radicals that cause chronic inflammation put you at higher risk, as your immune system is constantly tasked with managing ongoing unresolved threats. In the Virus Season, it's essential to take the necessary steps to reduce free radicals and strengthen your immune defense.
You may have heard of the term cytokine storm. This is when the immune system overreacts to a threat, causing excessive, dangerous inflammation. During a cytokine storm, immune cells flood the area of infection, causing intense inflammation that can harm vital organs and tissues. If left unchecked, this immune response can lead to severe health complications and put you at greater risk this Virus Season. Science shows that those with higher levels of free radicals are more vulnerable to dangerous cytokine storms.
Why Reducing Free Radicals Should Be Your Top Priority This Virus Season
Reducing free radicals that cause inflammation is crucial as we approach Virus Season, because it is a sign of a weakened immune system and increased risk of an exaggerated immune response like a cytokine storm. Your body must focus on fighting off viruses, not managing persistent free radicals.
Reduce Inflammation-Causing Free Radicals with Nopalea®
Nopalea is a top choice for helping reduce free radicals that cause chronic inflammation. This natural supplement is packed with 24 powerful antioxidants called betalains, which have been shown to lower inflammation markers like CRP. Reducing free radicals with Nopalea allows your immune system to function optimally, reducing the risk of more severe immune responses and helping you feel better overall. Continued...
In a double-blind placebo-controlled clinical study, Nopalea was shown to:
• Reduce CRP, which is a standard test for measuring chronic inflammation1
• Improve mobility, flexibility and range of motion in the neck, back and joints1
• Less dependence on pain medication1
Boost Your Immune System with Elderberry for Virus Season
Once you've prioritized reducing free radicals, it's time to boost your immune system. A strong immune system will help protect you during Virus Season and minimize your risk of serious health issues. Here are key supplements that can help:
Black Elderberry: Known for its potent antiviral and immune-boosting properties, black elderberry can help reduce the severity and duration of respiratory infections like the common cold and flu. Its antioxidant and antiinflammatory effects support your immune system in fighting off viruses.2,3,4
Zinc: Known as the "gatekeeper" of immunity, zinc supports the development and function of immune cells, ensuring your body can fend off viruses and harmful pathogens.5,6
Vitamin D3: Often referred to as the "sunshine vitamin," vitamin D is essential for immune function. It reduces free radicals and enhances the body’s defenses against infections, particularly during the colder months when sun exposure is limited.7,8

Take Charge of Your Health
This Virus Season
Virus Season is upon us, and now is the time to take action. Reducing free radicals that cause inflammation and boosting your immune system should be top priorities to protect your health. Incorporating inflammation-reducing Nopalea, along with key immune-boosting nutrients like zinc and vitamin D3, into your daily routine can help ensure your body is ready to defend itself against the imminent threats.
Don’t wait for free radicals to weaken your immune system—start reducing them today. Your health is your greatest asset, and by making these changes, you’re investing in a future of vitality and well-being.
Paul Bernitt, DHH
Board-Certified Doctor of Holistic Health. Director of Wellness Services, TriVita, Inc.
European black elderberry, or Sambucus nigra, is the key ingredient in TriVita’s premium Elderberry supplement. Black elderberry has the most potent antioxidant and antiviral properties of any elderberry variety. An article medically reviewed by Kathleen M. Zelman, RD, LD, MPH states: “Black elderberries have been studied most widely as a treatment for the viral flu. Scientists believe that the berry stimulates the immune system’s chemical responses, bringing relief from flu symptoms and possibly shortening its duration.”1
A NATURAL IMMUNE-BOOSTER WITH ANTIVIRAL PROPERTIES
• Inhibits viral replication: Elderberry extract has been shown to block the replication of viruses, such as influenza A and B, by preventing the virus from attaching to host cells.2
• Neutralizes viruses: Elderberry is packed with flavonoids, which help neutralize viruses, reducing their ability to infect host cells.3
• Effective against multiple viral strains: Elderberry has shown broad-spectrum antiviral effects against a variety of viruses, including influenza and H1N1.4
POWERFUL ANTIOXIDANTS TO COMBAT FREE RADICALS
• Reduces C-reactive protein markers: Elderberry has been shown to lower levels of CRP markers, which helps to mitigate free radicals throughout the body.5
• Neutralizes free radicals: Elderberry is rich in antioxidants, which help to neutralize free radicals. This reduces oxidative stress, a key contributor to chronic inflammation.6
• Reduces oxidative stress: By combating free radicals, elderberry helps lower oxidative stress, protecting cells from oxidative damage and helping preserve overall health.

Are You at Risk for Vitamin D Deficiency?
1 in 3 People have low vitamin D. Are you one of them?
Vitamin D is required by the immune system to fight off bacteria and viruses.1
Maybe you already know that vitamin D supports bone health and helps prevent osteoporosis. But, there’s so much more to this essential vitamin than just strong bones.
Dangers of vitamin D deficiency
• Compromised immune system
• Osteoporosis and bone weakness
• Fatigue, muscle aches and cramps2
Avoiding Vitamin D Deficiency
Lack of sun exposure is a significant contributor to vitamin D deficiency, especially during the long winter months and Virus Season when we stay indoors more. Certain dietary restrictions, and even aging, further increase the risk.
Benefits of TriVita’s Essential D™
• Formulated with 1,000 IUs (25 mcg) of Vitamin D3
• Bioidentical to the vitamin D3 your body produces naturally from sunlight
• Easy-to-swallow soft gels with soybean oil for optimal absorption
How much vitamin D do you need?
The growing trend among physicians is to recommend a level of 50 or more, with a vitamin D level of 80 being optimal. A simple blood test can determine your vitamin D levels.
Start moving toward a stronger immune system now by supplementing with TriVita’s Essential D.
Boost your immune system with a healthy dose of vitamin D3
Many of us don’t get enough vitamin D. Causes of this deficiency may include:
• Getting older. Vitamin D gets harder to absorb and synthesize with age.1
• Staying indoors. Your skin needs sunlight in order to make vitamin D.2
• Sunblock. Using SPF 8+ may reduce the skin’s vitamin D synthesis by 95%.3
• Overweight. Carrying extra pounds may create vitamin D insufficiency risks.4
Essential D:
Easy to swallow and designed for easy absorption, Essential D starts with 1,000 IU of vitamin D3 as Cholecalciferol, a bioavailable form that matches what your body produces naturally. Calcium intake, when combined with sufficient vitamin D3, a healthy diet and regular exercise, may reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis.
Vitamin D supports whole-body wellness:
• Helps in the absorption and use of phosphorus
• Helps in the development and maintenance of bones and teeth
• Helps to prevent vitamin D deficiency

The “Gatekeeper of Immunity” that is essential for optimal immune function
Zinc is known as the “gatekeeper” because of its multifaceted roles in regulating the immune system’s activity, ensuring a balanced and effective response to pathogens while also protecting against overactivity that can lead to autoimmune issues or free radicals that cause chronic inflammation.
IMMUNE CELL DEVELOPMENT AND FUNCTION: Zinc is crucial for the normal development and function of immune cells, especially T cells and neutrophils, which are critical in defending the body against infections.1
ANTIOXIDANT PROPERTIES: Zinc plays a role in protecting cells from oxidative stress, which can damage immune cells and other tissues. By minimizing oxidative damage, zinc helps maintain the integrity of immune cells and their ability to function effectively.
REGULATING INFLAMMATION: Zinc helps modulate the body’s natural inflammatory response. It ensures that the body can mount an effective defense against pathogens without creating excessive free radicals, which cause inflammation and tissue damage. This balancing act is crucial in preventing excessive free radicals, which are linked to various diseases.2
BARRIER FUNCTION: Zinc supports the integrity of physical barriers, such as the skin and the mucous membranes in the respiratory and gastrointestinal tracts, which act as the first line of defense against pathogens.
GENE REGULATION: Zinc is involved in the regulation of genes that are critical for immune responses. It influences the expression of cytokines and other signaling molecules that guide the immune system’s response to threats.3
Receive a free 60-day supply of Zinc.* Our gift to you with your purchase of Elderberry or Essential D3.
Suggested use: As a dietary supplement, take one (1) capsule with food and water.

“My thoughts as to my TriVita Wellness experience:
“It is my strong belief and choice that there is a parallel between health, wellness and the spoken word of God. Therefore, I am always proud to say that nutrition, in the natural form, creates long life for those people who exercise God’s provision through His bountiful creation of nutritional plants, by using TriVita’s Nopalea fruit juice product.
“I have also enjoyed sharing it and witnessing the health benefits when most of these people are between 75 to 91 years of age and still very much active. It’s been a blessing to be a testimony when people are amazed when they find out how old I am! I give the credit to both God and TriVita!

9 ESSENTIAL AMINO ACIDS: THE BACKBONE OF MYOHEALTH®
Build muscle the EAAsy way With hundreds of companies touting thousands of supplements, how can you be sure that MyoHealth is any different than all of the other products that promise to build stronger, leaner muscle? Simple. With MyoHealth Essential Amino Acid (EAA) Complex, it starts with the perfectly blended mix of all 9 EAAs that go into every canister and the years of science that went into developing this formula.
What’s so important about Essential Amino Acids?
• Muscle is the main reservoir of amino acids in the body 1
• Muscle needs protein to grow, but the body cannot produce protein on its own
• Essential Amino Acids are the cellular building blocks of protein1
• Muscle is always in a state of breakdown and synthesis, or “turnover,” which is an important process to get rid of old, damaged muscle fibers and replace them with new, healthy fibers1
• Muscle serves many important metabolic functions beyond supporting physical movement

“Getting the essential amino acids and getting enough protein is important for building muscle. I have to admit I don’t always get enough protein in my diet. For an athlete, keeping protein is a key factor in making sure I’m keeping muscle strength… As we age, we lose muscle mass, so it’s important to up the protein."
– Nancy Kummen, Age 73 Award-winning triathlete, certified swim instructor and lifeguard

Vitamin K2 ensures the calcium (166.67 mg) in VitaCal-MagD™ K2 does what it’s supposed to. It promotes the calcification of bones and may support healthy blood vessels.
VitaCal-Mag D K2 also helps maintain proper muscle function, including the heart muscle.
Add in the benefits provided by magnesium (83.33 mg) and vitamin D3 (166.7 IU) and you have a powerhouse of musculoskeletal support that other supplements on the market simply don’t provide.
Calcium plays a crucial role in maintaining strong bones, supporting their structure and function.1 Calcium intake, when combined with sufficient vitamin D, a healthy diet and regular exercise, may reduce the risk of developing osteoporosis.
But getting enough calcium from food alone can be a challenge. 2 On top of that, calcium absorption may drop by up to 20% in adulthood—and decline even further as we grow older, just when we start needing more.1,3

Feel rejuvenated: Boost your energy with CoEnzyme Q-10
CoEnzyme Q-10 is an important “bioenergetic antioxidant” that’s concentrated in the heart. The natural aging process may deplete CoQ-10, potentially leading to low CoQ-10 status. Statin drugs may also deplete CoQ-10. This “CoQ-10 drain” may affect your heart: Low CoQ-10 has been linked to diminished cardiac energy and cardiovascular health concerns.1-4
TriVita CoQ-10 may address these heart health concerns because it helps to replenish what statin drugs and aging may have taken away.5 By correcting your CoQ-10 status, you may promote this unique nutrient’s diverse range of cardio-supportive biological activities.
CoEnzyme Q-10:
• Is necessary in adequate amounts for heart energy metabolism6
• Is a cardiovascular antioxidant that helps protect the heart and blood vessels7
• Supports the function of the blood vessel linings, potentially helping with circulation8
• May help maintain heartbeat stability and the heart’s blood-pumping efficiency9
• May help to maintain blood pressure that’s already within normal range10
Supplying 50 mg of quality CoQ-10 in each easy-to-swallow soft gel, TriVita CoQ-10 is a convenient way to help contribute to the CoQ-10 status that’s associated with healthy cardiovascular function.

PREMIUM HEART HEALTH SUPPORT
Movement is Life
Boost Your Energy with B Vitamins and CoQ-10
Movement is life, and that movement requires energy. A study of adults showed that walking 8,000 steps or more for several days each week was linked to a lower risk of heart problems and of dying from any natural cause. The results suggest that people can get many health benefits just by walking a few days each week.1
To help you stay energized and support your active lifestyle, we will discuss how the powerful combination of B vitamins and CoEnzyme Q-10 (CoQ-10) supports energy production to help get you moving.
Vitamin B12 is essential for energy production, as it helps convert food into fuel that your body can use throughout the day. It also supports nerve function and red blood cell formation, making it vital for maintaining your energy levels.2 Vitamin B6 helps the body convert food into glucose, which is used for energy.3
Folate, also known as vitamin B9, is important for helping your body convert carbohydrates into energy and is crucial for proper brain function and mental health.4 Biotin, or vitamin B7, supports metabolism by converting food into energy, ensuring you have the vitality you need for daily activities.5
CoEnzyme Q-10 (CoQ-10) CoQ-10 is a powerful antioxidant that helps the body combat oxidative stress, which is essential for optimizing energy production at the cellular level. The components of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) are found in DNA and RNA. CoQ-10 is required for ATP synthesis and is essential for converting carbohydrates into energy. This powerful antioxidant is also shown to enhance physical performance and support cardiovascular function, ensuring your body can perform at its best.
CoQ-10 is produced naturally by the body, but as we age, its production may diminish. Those taking statin drugs are at greater risk of CoQ-10 depletion and may benefit from taking TriVita’s CoEnzyme Q-10.6
Together, B vitamins and CoQ-10 create a powerhouse supplement that helps you stay active and energized. Remember, movement is life, and with B vitamins plus CoQ-10, you can keep moving and transforming your health for the better.

Welcome to the world of vitamins, where tiny molecules make big impacts on our health!
The following spotlights our three superheroes: vitamins B6, B9 and B12. You might wonder, "What's so special about these vitamins?" Well, let's dive into their superpowers, especially how they help fight off the bad guy known as "inflammation."
What is inflammation?
Imagine you're playing your favorite sport, and suddenly, you get a small cut. Soon, the area becomes red and puffy. That's inflammation in action! It's your body's way of saying, "Hey, I got an owie, and I'm fixing it." While a little inflammation helps us heal, too much of it for too long can be like having a superhero stuck in overdrive — not so good.
The Super Trio: B6, B9 and B12 to the rescue!
Now, let's meet our heroes who help keep inflammation in check:
Vitamin B6 - The Protector
Vitamin B6 is like the bodyguard of our immune system. It helps our body make something called "antibodies." These are like the body's soldiers that fight off infections. B6 makes sure our soldiers are strong enough to fight the bad guys but also smart enough to know when to relax.
Vitamin B9 - The Balancer
Next up, vitamin B9, also known as folate or folic acid when it's added to foods. It's the balancer, helping our body create new cells and repair DNA. But, here's where it gets cool for fighting inflammation: B9 makes sure the cells that control inflammation are working just right. Not too much, not too little, just perfectly balanced.
Vitamin B12 - The Energy Booster
Lastly, vitamin B12 is like the energizer. It helps make DNA for new cells, keeps your nerve cells happy and helps produce energy. When it comes to inflammation, B12 ensures that our immune system has the energy it needs to fight off the bad guys without going overboard.
Teamwork makes the dream work
What makes B6, B9 and B12 so special is how they work together. They're like a superhero team that makes sure our body's response to injuries or infections is just right. By working in harmony, they help maintain healthy inflammation levels, which means we heal better and stay healthier.
How to get these superheroes in your diet
You might be thinking, "How do I make sure I have these superheroes on my team?" Great question! You can find them in foods like:
Vitamin B6: Chicken, fish, potatoes, chickpeas and bananas
Vitamin B9: Leafy greens, fruits and nuts
Vitamin B12: Meat, fish and certain types of dairy products
Eating a balanced diet with these foods can help you keep your vitamin levels in superhero shape.
The bottom line
Vitamins B6, B9 and B12 play crucial roles in helping our bodies heal the right way, protecting our health and ensuring we’re always ready to face the day’s challenges. Sadly, eating a balanced diet that includes these superhero vitamins doesn’t always do the trick. For optimal benefits, consider adding TriVita’s B vitamin hero to your daily routine: Alfred Libby’s Original B-12.

ANTIOXIDANTS FIGHT FREE RADICALS
What Are Free Radicals?
Free radicals are highly reactive and unstable molecules in the body that can damage cells, cause illness and contribute to aging. Studies have shown that free radicals may be linked to health problems such as neurodegenerative disorders, cardiovascular disease and chronic inflammation. 1
The presence of free radicals in the body is inevitable, as they are created naturally as a result of the body turning food into energy. Free radicals also attack the body from external sources, like air pollution, cigarette smoke, even stress and lack of exercise. Fortunately, we are not defenseless… Antioxidants are the way to fight free radicals and the incredible dangers they pose.
The Role of Antioxidants
The name “antioxidant” hints at how they help in the fight against free radicals. They work against (“anti”) the oxidative stress (“oxidant”) caused by too many free radical molecules in the body. Without getting too technical with the science, antioxidants donate a portion of their own atoms to the free radicals, thereby neutralizing them and halting the damaging chain reactions they cause. Antioxidants can be found in certain “superfoods” that are rich in particular vitamins and minerals.
Nopalea® May Help
Betalains are a rare and powerful class of natural antioxidants, and the Nopal cactus is a known source of 24 naturally occurring betalains. Native to the Sonoran Desert, the fruit of the Nopal cactus is one of the most powerful sources of antioxidants in all of nature.
TriVita’s Nopalea is a nutrient-dense wellness drink that harnesses the antioxidant properties of these Nopal “superfruit” betalains. With daily use, antioxidant-rich Nopalea may neutralize harmful free radicals and help improve your quality of life.
“I tend to have stiffness in my joints (hips, knees) and swelling in the ankles; I’m more flexible, and it has afforded me the ability to walk… I’ll be 79 this November. It makes me feel good, and I don’t want to be without it. I’ve even introduced my sister to Nopalea.” –Judith I.
A Treasure from the Desert: The Nopalea Superfruit
Do creaky knees and aching joints sound all too familiar? You’re not alone. Arthritis affects millions of people — more than diabetes, heart disease, cancer and stroke combined. One in five adults deals with joint pain or chronic inflammation, and the numbers are on the rise.1
If you’re looking for hope beyond surgery, neverending pain medication or giving in to a lifetime of pain, you may want to try Opuntia ficus-indica, more commonly known as the prickly pear or nopal cactus.
The Nopal Cactus in History & Culture
Native to Mexico, the nopal cactus thrives in the arid and semiarid regions of the Sonoran Desert.2 Discovered centuries ago by the Aztecs, this ancient Mesoamerican culture used the nopal cactus for food and medicine, as well as in their rituals. After Columbus made his way to the New World, sailors began using nopal to treat scurvy, and the prickly pear cactus made its way back across the globe aboard European ships.3
Both the green nopal pads and its colorful fruit are edible, and numerous recipes can be found on the internet. The pads may be cooked or eaten raw, as long as one is careful to remove the spines and barbed glochids. The fruit also may be eaten raw, though it, too, has spines, and it is often used to make juice, jelly and jam.3
Resilience in the Harshest Conditions
To call this amazing plant hardy would be a considerable understatement. Not only does the nopal cactus thrive in extreme heat and drought conditions, it also survives freezing temperatures and soil lacking in nutrients.
Another name for this incredible flora is la planta de vida, or “life-giving plant,” as even its fallen leaves become new plants.4 It is prolific, able to reproduce year round, and an old Mexican adage says, “Whoever has a nopal in his house, will never go hungry.”5
It’s no wonder that people living in extreme desert climates looked to the nopal for sustenance.
TriVita’s Nopalea® Supplement:
Susan’s Story
TriVita founder Michael R. Ellison discovered the Nopal cactus after meeting the indigenous Seri people of Mexico whose ancestors had relied on its fruit for their incredible strength and resilience. The “fruit” of this meeting, if you will, was TriVita’s Nopalea, a wellness drink brimming with antioxidants and clinically shown to fight the free radicals that cause inflammation. Michael’s wife, Susan, would be one of the first to experience Nopalea’s amazing lifechanging benefits.
A beautiful, petite blonde, Susan was down to earth but loved wearing her high heels. Sadly, side effects from radiation treatments had left her feet terribly inflamed with arthritis, incredibly painful and covered with unsightly knots and red splotches. Every step she took hurt, and she’d been reduced to wearing what she called “comfort shoes.” But, Susan refused to live with daily pain medication. Instead, she tried Nopalea, drinking 3 oz in the morning and 3 more at night. Before long, the redness in her feet began to wane and her pain was all but gone. She recalls, “I just remember walking around and suddenly thinking, ‘I don’t have pain!’” Now, Susan is back to enjoying an active lifestyle and sharing her Nopalea story with everyone she can.
Our Members Love Nopalea
Every month TriVita Members tell us how much they love their Nopalea and how it helps them maintain good health and improves their quality of life.
TriVita Member Josette G. says, “The Nopalea makes my neck and joints feel better, I do not have any more pain,” while Carol C. tells us, “Nopalea helps me feel good, and I have more energy.”
According to Member Deborah D., “Nopalea helps, and I share it . My whole mental health and everything changes, and when I’m sluggish it helps me a lot. It also helps my emotional phase I am going through and helps with mobile skills.”
Finally, Diane J. shares, “Nopalea is so good, I could drink the whole bottle in one sitting Nopalea helps me stay healthy.”
The Benefits of Nopalea
With daily use, Nopalea may improve your quality of life in these ways:
• Helping support healthy immune function
• Helping prevent vitamin C deficiency
• Helping maintain healthy bones, cartilage, teeth and gums
• Helping in wound healing and connective tissue formation
• Providing antioxidants for the maintenance of good health
Why wait another day to start feeling better?

TriVita’s Nopalea is a nutrient-dense wellness drink that harnesses the antioxidant properties of these Nopal “superfruit” betalains.
The Nopal fruit is so rich in antioxidants because the plant needs them in order to survive in the Sonoran Desert, the harshest desert environment in all of North America. So, when you take Nopalea, you might think of it as the amazing Nopal cactus passing its resilience and ability to fight free radicals on to you.
